Can someone reccomend some cheap chlorine test strips, I'm about to bleach my qt and I want to use Safe/Prime to remove bleanch
 
All I do is add bleach to fresh water in QT tank, after a little time u drain tank and air dry it, that's what sterilizes it, then rinse with water, I use ro/di water for both.
 
I used tap water is that bad?
 
Shouldn't be, if you could, after you let the tank air dry I would use ro/di water to do a final rinse, if u cant then u should be fine, i just used tap water for my 40b QT tank to clean as I didnt feel like wasting 40 gals of ro/di water. If chlorine is still a concern u can always buy test strips from your LFS.

Okay! Thanks a lot!
 
If you allow your tank and equipment to thoroughly air dry following disinfecting with bleach, any residue will turn to harmless salt.
